"Audition" - Japanese horror film

This movie used to be available in the U.S. but now I see used copies on
the Amazon Marketplace going for $200.00 dollars. I know this movie has
a pretty decent cult following. Any plans for a new region 1 release
any time soon?

I do not know about an R1 release but the film should be
readily available on R3 DVD for only a few dollars.

$200? That's crazy. I just saw a copy for $14.99 at a Best Buy in
Portland, ME. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it for under $20
someplace.

They also have it at North American DVD, but they have a history of
listing out of print titles as available because they're too lazy to
delete them from their database, so I wouldn't call them the most
trustworthy.

Yeah, I have seen several of those, but I am looking for the R1 release, as my
player is R1 only, and I don't want to have to upgrade at this time. Thanks
though!

Unfortunately, none of these places actually have it. Amazon has it listed as
out of stock and the used copies are enormously expensive. DVD Planet has it
as discontinued. If you know of a place that has a copy, I'd love to know.
But I do believe it has been discontinued. I was hoping to hear there was a
new version coming out or something.

Tried that, too. Most are HK versions or UK versions that are R3. The R1's that
are available have a lot of time left on the auctions and will creep upwards of $75
(at least) before they are done. I REALLY appreciate all of your suggestions,
swac. But it looks like I will have to wait for a R1 re-release. It may happen
sooner rather than later, as Japanese horror films are becoming a big deal here,
after The Ring and The Grudge. We'll see. I was just hoping another release had
been announced.

Amazon.ca lists it as shipping in 3 to 5 weeks. From past experience, that usually means
they will not actually be able to find a copy.
